Love in liquid form.....

I have always enjoyed taking a shower or a bath. I like feeling clean, and I like the chance for my hair to "reset." My hair never really dries the same way, although since my pregnancies my part at least seems to be about the same every time. I also like to be able to shave my legs and have them feel smooth. (Michael likes this part of me showering too. lol) It just feels great to walk out of a shower and feel like your body is ready for whatever clothes or exercise you might throw at it. I know a shower doesn't make me any skinnier, or more in shape, but my attitude is definitely skinner and more in shape! ;-)

This morning I was feeling gritty, a little cranky, and Maddy was clingy. I was afraid it was going to be another showerless day. My friend Anna, who watches Maddy at her house for me sometimes, agreed to come play with her for half an hour at our house, while I got a shower. She stayed for herbal tea and some homemade bread afterward, and to Maddy's disgust, we even had an adult conversation for another half an hour. It was pure heaven.

Now, for the commercial announcement: This shower was made possible my Mark fixing the drain on the bathtub last weekend, Costco carrying the razors that I like so that I could shave my legs, Anna and Maddy by playing together, and Heavenly Father who seperated water and earth. I may have forgotten someone, and if so, leave a comment, and I will rectify my oversight!

This is interesting, because I like being clean, but hate being wet. I do not enjoy my showers and bathes are almost torture. I do bathe, and often, but I would not say I enjoy them. It is in and out for me.

About Me

I am trying to find my way through a life that has great joy, and occasionally great pain. Even through the hard times I try to keep my faith as the bedrock of my life, and my sense of humor as the grease that keeps me moving forward. You will find my blog a pretty eclectic grouping of my thoughts, especially about the gospel, projects, and things that interest me as I go through life.
My children also have blogs, so check out their poetry, thoughts and interests if you have a few minutes.
